Bird Nesting September-December
Raptors usually nest on the following climbs in Spring : Cassandra,
Eurydice, Harlequin Cracks, Revelations.
Nesting usually finishes mid-December. There may or may not be signs in place at these times.
Please keep 50m clear of these climbs if there appears to be nesting activity.

Descent notes

Mount Arapiles is first and foremost a trad climbing area. The few sport climbs tend to be in the higher grades where no natural pro is available.

Bolting, particularly retro-bolting, is discouraged and should only be undertaken after extensive consultation with the local climbers, first ascensionists, etc. Inappropriately placed bolts have been chopped.

Do not chip the rock.

Look after the park.

Stick to the paths.

Don't disturb the wildlife.

Routes near peregrine falcon nesting sites are closed in the spring.

Minimise the impact of your camping (fuel stoves not fires, take your rubbish with you, etc).
